Facing the crowd's covetous stares, Song Wanning said nothing. She simply toyed with the longsword in her hand, her gaze deep and filled with derision.
'He Xiao was a strange character. If you called him stupid, he was also quite clever.'
'After the incident, he'd all but holed himself up in the He Family's estate, giving me no opportunity to make a move.'
'Now he knew how to redirect the disaster onto others.'
'But if you called him clever, at times he was also utterly clueless...'
'It made him seem rather ridiculous.'
'Frankly, he was just far too arrogant.'
'Those who remain in high positions for too long eventually develop a skewed perception of themselves. They start to think they're the cleverest and most capable of all.'
Song Wanning's gaze met He Xiao's.
"Song Wanning, hand over the treasure at once! A treasure is for all to claim... With so many of us here, do you really think you can take it all for yourself?"
